Northern Frontenac Community Services (NFCS) received a $45,000 grant from the Trillium Foundation earlier this year to purchase a vehicle capable of transporting staff and equipment to play-groups, youth events, and for seniors outreach programs. “The van came just in time, since our staff were starting to worry if they were going to arrive safely in our old van. It allows us to bring people, gear, whatever we need up and down Frontenac County” said Maribeth Scott, NFCS Director of Children and Youth Services.
NFCS delivers children and youth services in South, Central and North Frontenac, through playgroups, sports programs and workshops.
The agency also delivers adult and seniors programming in the region north of Verona.
“It all adds up to a lot of driving,” said Scott, “and having a reliable van helps. Lanark, Frontenac Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier attended a ribbon cutting for the new van, which has actually been in service for a while. “I'm happy to help celebrate this grant from the Trillium Foundation. NFCS is an organisation that helps rural communities thrive.”
